Automated Control Concepts

Johnson & Johnson's pharmaceutical arm, Janssen, embarked on a global effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and worked with a contract manufacturer to supply one billion doses of vaccine. Large-scale manufacturing of Janssen's vaccine would occur at the contract manufacturing site, specializing in rapidly manufacturing vaccines and other treatments in large quantities during public health emergencies. Janssen required access to near-real-time data to monitor key production and quality metrics and to assure the success of each batch. The contract manufacturer's Operation Technology infrastructure of control systems and data collection is isolated from internal and outside networks — particularly networks with internet access. The contract manufacturer tasked Automation Control Concepts (ACC) with creating a secure data pipeline providing this information to Janssen, which is an evolution in the collaboration between contract manufacturers and vaccine developers, as historical data is usually exchanged via Excel or text files after the batch is completed. In this session, learn how ACC used Ignition to provide the real-time data required to react to deviations immediately and save batches that would otherwise be lost.

Greater Mobility, More Data, Less Paper

The project was aimed at quickly collecting work-order data from the shop floor and communicating it to the company’s ERP system. The goal was to react faster to delays or unforeseen events. To accomplish that it was necessary to adopt a scheduling process supported by software, to give operators an integrated system to collect data on mobile devices.
